Psychiatric hospitalization should be avoided. It is only useful for certain conditions and medication management. It doesn't do much for adjustment problems and chronic suicidal ideation.

They don't know how much I had to work to be at college and don't get in troubles since it's the only thing my parents taught me to do. I went there because i wanted to talk with someone since I felt suicidal, I wanted some help not this. Actually if someone at the ER had talked enough with me and tell me to do something the next day to be busy, it' wouldn't have been necessary to IP me. I need kind and warm people, that's it....I can do the rest by my own, I alwyas had done it since my parents did nothing for me, even buying food.

Reaching out to psychiatry at the age of 16 is my biggest regret in life. My hospitalization was 8 weeks of hell. It was a new world, one filled with chaos and self harm. I've never seen that before. All the patients were cutting themselves and teaching new admissions how to do it. I had the lecture from a 13 year old the first morning I was there. How was this supposed to help me or any other patient get better? The place didn't promote recovery at all. Staff would threaten patients. The psychiatrist was useless. She was old and had the pure psychoanalytical approach. Her clinical skills were poor. She didn't talk which made therapy sessions with her useless. Meeting her lead me into psychiatric hell and misdiagnosis.
Outpatient therapy and an autism assessment would have helped me a lot more than an Axis II diagnosis, that came with all kinds of assumptions.
The last time I got severely depressed I kept my dark thoughts from my psychiatrist. There was no way I was going to tell her I was suicidal. I struggled for three days with the intense thoughts. My mother helped me through them. I knew if I ended up in the hospital I would get misdiagnosed again, since they had my records from 16 years earlier. A lot of psychiatrists rely on old records and don't question them even if they are wrong.
